Closed West Ham v Chelsea

[Strike 7,218]

Best half of football since Hull on opening day

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

This is what I'm talking about. Cashback!!!

[ChelseasMessiah 304]

See the difference it makes having players who actually can play in the pivot? For once Lampard is out of there, Mikel and Ramires haven been great.

I for one hope to never see him again there. Enough of that torture.

BORIS BECKER IS DOING ANALYSIS FOR FOOTBALL ON BT! I REPEAT TENNIS LEGEND BORIS BECKER!

[Magic Lamps 11,655]

we are very assured and consequent today

[Sidzeret 2,257]

Big Sam's reverse psychology definitely back fired.

But then the funny thing is that these Mourinho defenders will use the excuse (which is not wrong) that he watches the players train, prepare for games etc and he knows best in who to pick and yet the same wasn't apply for Benitez. In fact, think he still got slammed in the past for playing Ramires at RW or even Bertrand LW even when we win while we have Mourinho being let go when he has done the same.

not entirely connected to your post but is Ramires even playing Right Mid? Seems to be central

[Chelsea? 892]

what formation we playing? Oscar is a superstar, top 5 in the EPL

[NishC300 1,865]

Hazard's lay-off for Oscar!

[Shane 2,275]

Excellent first half. Great work rate all over. Solid at the back, midfield playing well and really the whole team is setting the platform for Oscar and Hazard to shine. Eto'o has been decent aswell, can see him baging one.

[pgleo 90]

He's tucking in narrow-ly from the right side, not really out wide..

[Strike 7,218]

most of all, he silenced all of us with the formation. It actually worked. I still believe would have worked better with Willian, but man, he shut us up there.

Also I don't know what's Jason problem with people supporting Mourinho, if anything tons of people reacted negatively towards the lineup and all of us - me included - were proved wrong in our criticism by that first half performance. I guess he just chose the wrong day to go against Mourinho's fans because everyone who criticized his choices today were just wrong.

I still defend our right to complain about a lineup though. It's great to be proved wrong when it works

to be fair the majority of the complaints were about Ramires at Right Mid. But yeah, this has been a comfortable performance so far

[LegenTerry 265]

I belive we can beat them 4-0 we are great out there,just little more confiedence for Ivanović and it will be top class match from us today.

but that's what I meant, I think Willian would have worked better at RW, but I can't complain given how it worked in the first half.

[Magic Lamps 11,655]

Really superior play from us. The midfield is doing well and controlling most of the game. Mikel's coolness is exactly what we need in these types of games, Lamps has played some excellent balls and made a few interceptions, Ramires is full of running as always, which is instrumental in pressing, Oscar simply runs the show. 2 more goals and we overhaul Liverpool
